Can someone recommend a mat to go under the beam? I am not sure what length to get.

we bought the GSC 4x6x2 mat and it fits perfectly underneath. GSC Expando Supernova Mat (Royal Blue, 4 x6-Feet) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000978F6K/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_E18Fub0MZKV5T

Place the mat under the legs. My problem was that this mat won't stay in-place on carpet anyway.

We have a standard sized gymnastics mat and it is too large to fit between the legs of this bar. We have the whole bar apparatus sitting on top of the mat and it works fine.

Sorry,I don't really know if there is a safe and sound way to do that. I have purchased down rods a long as 60 inches if you need more than that I would go to the Hunter website and pose your particular problem with length and see if they have a solution.Best regards,Michael

there is a small amount of space maybe a half inch not nearly enough for a 2x6. Basically is has to be flush to the beam

I did that exact thing. I cut holes for the ball and safety chain hooks. The mat flops around a little with a trailer hooked up but not too bad.

not sure what you mean " work with the matt" the beam is intended to be placed in a sturdy place. My daughter had a matt and it was not dense so the beam was better off on the floor. If you have a high density matt, you can putt the beam there but I wonder if it will ruin your matt...not sure. What I can tell you is that the beam itself is beautiful and of great quality. I would also recommend you store it indoors to prevent the suede from getting dirty.

You might need a little more space. I did mine in a space approximately 7'x10' and it was a little tight but I made it work. The important thing is having a high enough ceiling to jump rope under.

it's confusing because there seem to be 3 sizes of formbu mats (which I use in the kitchen. best of luck in finding the one that suits you the best. i have the smallest in the bathroom and the largest and 2 medium protecting my kitchen floors. best of luck

The way I determined the correct one to purchase was to measure from the top of my dock where i would bolt the unit on, to the bottom of surface under the water at low tide. I needed the four step ladder, which worked out well. Hope this helps!

No issues with that, but I have a 4x4 brace in the center of the support beam for the slats it comes with. I just cut it to height and slid it under. Without the brace it sags ever so slightly under weight.

I ordered the microfiber dish mat to use under mine. I got it in Amazon as well. Works well! And you can wash the dishmat in the washer.

The directions say 32". (FYI, narrower gets you more inherent instability to stabilize in your exercise; wider gets you good burn in the chest for pec flyes, etc.) So considering that you'll be stuck with one distance, I'd go with Lifeline's suggested 32", which is TWO standard wall or ceiling beam distances part. That's the distance I just used in my basement and it works very well.

If you purchase it through the diamondback website they recommend a 84 x 36 x 0.25 mat as an accessory (for $55). You can get one on Amazon with those exact dimensions for $25

get the 156 inch. if too long you can tape it up underneath on the ends. better safe...

I've done it both ways and really a nice thick mat is soooooo much nicer on your joints and less slippery than carpet. I'm older (55) so being nice to my joints makes sense. Mine is about 3/4 inch thick black puzzle mat that I got here on Amazon. I bought two sets and put them together to make a larger area. Well worth the $. The thin yoga mats really only help with the slipping part.

I use a sturdy support beam in my basement. I'm willing to bet there's ceiling mounts you can get in the event you don't have a beam strong enough
